A police officer is accused of a £4,600 of attempted fraud amid divorce proceedings.
Michelle McFadden, 46, allegedly passed on false information to lawyers between March 7 and May 1, 2024.
Court papers state McFadden pretended to solicitors Tony Caplan and David Forbes that she had zero funds in a Scottish Police Credit Union account at the time of her separation.
McFadden's former partner Mark McLennan is also stated to have been told the same information.
The charge says the funds would be deemed as joint matrimonial assets.
It is claimed that McFadden knew that the balance in the account was £4,600.

McFadden allegedly forged a copy of the account to her solicitor showing a balance of zero.
She is further stated to have pretended to have transferred the funds to the bank accounts of two people whom she knows and a credit card account on November 28, 2022.
This was said to have been done to conceal the true sum of the funds held in the account as well as attempting to induce Mr Caplan, Mr Forbes and Mr McLennan to accept that her entitlement to a financial provision on divorce was more than it ought to have been.
The charge is stated to have been aggravated by involving abuse of a partner or ex-partner.
McFadden, whose bail address is Police Scotland's Professional Standards Department in Glasgow's Dalmarnock, did not appear in the dock today.
Her lawyer tendered no plea on her behalf and a further hearing has been fixed for next month by Sheriff Paul Reid.
